re: The film industry is dead and gone according to Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott

quote:

Scott told press including Digital Spy that he's got no interest in superhero cinema and wants to "keep making smart films".

"Superhero movies are not my kind of thing - that's why I've never really done one," he said."[I've been asked] several times, but I can't believe in the thin, gossamer tight-rope of the non-reality of the situation of the superhero. "I've done that kind of movie - Blade Runner really is a comic strip when you think about it, it's a dark story told in an unreal world. You could almost put Batman or Superman in that world, that atmosphere, except I'd have a f**king good story, as opposed to no story!"

It's not just Marvel and DC dismaying Sir Ridley, though - he thinks "cinema mainly is pretty bad" and admitted he's "concerned" for its future prospects.
